Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 56 Take a deep breath; dizziness is normal.

In a quiet, deserted alley, a gloomy man carrying a long-haired boy on his shoulder stood before a very inconspicuous iron gate.

As a series of rhythmic knocks sounded, the man withdrew his hand and stood quietly at the door, waiting.

After a while, the iron gate was opened from the inside. Without any communication, the gloomy man carried Huo Yuhao inside.

One, two... a total of eight people, all of them Soul Masters, one Soul King, three Soul Grandmasters, and the rest are all Great Soul Masters.

There were five other people being held in the next room; judging from their demeanor, they were likely civilians.

Using his mental detection, Huo Yuhao, who appeared to be unconscious, had already grasped all the information about everyone the moment he entered.

"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to tone it down a bit lately?"

When the Soul King saw Huo Yuhao on the gloomy man's shoulder, he couldn't help but frown, his voice revealing a chilling aura.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I checked the surroundings before I did it, absolutely no one saw it!"

The gloomy man shrank back in fear, his gaze darting away.

"That would be best."

The Soul King snorted coldly, then his gaze fell on Huo Yuhao on the man's shoulder. He changed the subject, "Just what kind of person is he that makes you so interested?"

Upon hearing this, the gloomy man's throat bobbed violently, and a lewd smile appeared on his face.

"I bumped into her on the street last night. She wasn't very old, and her looks were absolutely stunning!"

Upon hearing this, the people present smiled knowingly, their eyes carrying a hint of meaning, except for one young man who was rather thin and looked very young, whose brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Yeah?"

The Soul King seemed intrigued by the gloomy man's words and gestured with his chin toward the burly man with the Soul Sect cultivation level beside him. The burly man, understanding the gesture, was about to step forward and lift Huo Yuhao's hair to examine his appearance when the gloomy man instinctively took a step back and stammered.

"Boss, I went through a lot of trouble to get this, you can't take it from me!"

"Hmm?" The Soul King frowned, his aura instantly pressing down. "When did I steal your person? I only played with them for a while before returning them to you, didn't I?"

Seeing that the gloomy man was gritting his teeth and dared not say anything more, he then gestured for the burly man to continue.

The burly man swept Huo Yuhao's long hair up, grabbed his chin, and slowly lifted it up, revealing his handsome face to everyone.

Perhaps due to the cold weather, her slightly immature face appeared somewhat pale, but this did not diminish her breathtaking beauty.

After a brief moment of astonishment, everyone except the young man from before couldn't help but light up. The original sin called lust flooded into Huo Yuhao's mental space, giving him a chill.

These beasts...

Hearing Tianmeng's maniacal laughter, Huo Yuhao felt he was about to lose control. He suppressed the urge to attack and focused his attention on the frowning young man, intending to observe him further.

The burly man closest to him undoubtedly saw it most clearly. A faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and his eyes gleamed with excitement. As he spoke, even his breathing became heavier.

"Boss, this is truly a rare gem!"

"I saw it, great, very good."

After muttering a few words to himself, the Soul King clapped his hands excitedly.

"Alright, take her to that room. I'll spend more time with her when she wakes up tomorrow."

The gloomy man's expression changed upon hearing this, but seeing the other party's suddenly sharp gaze, he hesitated for a long time before daring not to say anything.

Just as he was about to carry Huo Yuhao away, a voice suddenly rang out from inside the room.

"Uncle Jiang, she's clearly just a child. Let her go."

Upon hearing this, everyone was so frightened that they instinctively fell silent, and the entire room instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The Soul King, who was called Uncle Jiang, suddenly turned cold, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the young man who had just spoken.

"What did you say?"

Enveloped by invisible pressure, the young man panicked for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said.

"That's not what you said when you invited me to join."

"What are you doing every day? How many of the people you arrest are actually criminals? That's bad enough, but now you've gone even further, even targeting an innocent child!"

The burly man next to Huo Yuhao was about to make a move, but was stopped by Uncle Jiang with a gesture. He walked up to the young man with a sneer, looked at the young man who was trembling with fear but still looked at him without fear, and sneered.

"If I hadn't saved you, do you think you'd be alive today, standing here talking to me? Has it really been less than two months, and you've already forgotten the arrogant faces of those people, forgotten how they bullied you because of your martial spirit, forgotten how they drove you to your death?"

But these people are innocent.

Before the young man could finish speaking, Uncle Jiang interrupted him.

"Ridiculous! Aren't we innocent too? Why are we labeled as evil spirit masters just because our martial spirits are evil?! Everyone is innocent, why are we the only ones suffering this injustice?!"

"What we are doing now is simply taking revenge, returning to the world the injustices it has done to us."

At this point, Uncle Jiang slowly leaned close to the young man's ear and whispered cold words.

"I tolerated you because of your talent, but I never expected you to be so cowardly. Now I've changed my mind. Go and kill her, then you'll be one of us."

The young man trembled involuntarily.

"What?"

"Now, immediately, kill the people that the third brother brought back."

Uncle Jiang, with an indifferent expression, pronounced the young man's fate word by word.

"If she doesn't die, you will."

The young man trembled slightly, subconsciously glancing back at the unconscious Huo Yuhao, then at Uncle Jiang's cold gaze.

Why?

He took a few steps back in fear, then collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had been drained, his lips trembling as he uttered painful sobs.

"Why must it be like this? Why must you hurt others to survive?"

"I just want to live."

He suddenly raised his head, revealing a face streaked with tears from excessive excitement, and looked at Uncle Jiang, demanding answers in a hoarse voice.

"What mistakes did I make in my past life that made me born to bear all this because of my uncontrollable martial soul? Even living is a mistake!?"

"Why the hell won't you all let me go?!"

"I'm sorry, but this world is just that cruel; many times, we don't have a choice."

Uncle Jiang's eyes showed pity, but his tone was unusually cold, "I'm sorry, you didn't pass the test."

Just then.

A sound like a blade piercing flesh drew everyone's attention.

Following the sound, one could see that the burly man standing next to the gloomy man was terrified, constantly trying to raise his hand to cover his throat, which was gushing blood, but to no avail.

Huo Yuhao, who had been carried on the shoulder of the gloomy man, had opened his eyes and stood in front of the burly man, holding a blood-stained dagger, his voice low.

"Take a deep breath; dizziness is normal."

It wasn't until the man convulsed and collapsed to the ground that Huo Yuhao turned around, looked around at the crowd who were clearly still unaware of what was happening, and finally his gaze slowly settled on the young man.

She spoke softly, as if answering his question earlier.

"You did nothing wrong."
